Abstract

This book will be the first title on the subject of Psychotrichology in the medical literature around the world. The subject of the psychological influence on hair loss disorders is of major interest to the field, since there is increasing data supporting the notion that emotional states have a very important influence on hair growth as well as on alopecia. The book presents the principles of therapy and features of medical management of psychotrichological patients, which involves interdisciplinary interaction of dermatotrichologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and general practitioners. Chapters discuss modern views on the psychosocial significance of hair, the effect of stress on the hair follicle, proposes a classification of psychotrichological disorders, and gives a description of clinical and pathogenetic data and differential diagnostic algorithms for conditions related to trichological and psychiatric pictures. Psychotrichology - Psychiatric and Psychosocial Aspects of Hair Diseases is a must-have resource for Dermatology Clinicians, Practitioners, Researchers, and Residents/Fellows who deal with hair. In addition, it will be of interest to mental health practitioners that deal with patients that suffer from the common disorder of hair loss. .
